Geometric curtains are very much in style, particularly bold, graphic designs that bring a strong sense of pattern and personality to a room. The resurgence of maximalist and retro-inspired interiors has given geometric prints a real moment, designer collections from brands like Orla Kiely, whose signature graphic motifs sit firmly within the geometric tradition, have been particularly popular. Geometric curtains work across a wide range of interior styles and have a structured quality that tends to age better than more fashion-led prints.
The key with geometric curtains is letting the pattern lead and keeping everything else in the room more restrained. Plain walls in a neutral tone or a colour pulled from the curtain's palette work best as a backdrop. Solid-coloured soft furnishings, plain sofas and simple cushions complement geometric curtains without competing. For a considered, design-led look, graphic geometric prints like those found in Orla Kiely's collections work particularly well alongside mid-century modern furniture, clean lines, teak or walnut tones, and simple forms that echo the precision of the pattern. Avoid mixing geometric curtains with other strong prints; one dominant pattern is always more effective than several competing ones.
